How happened: You might try to understand why, how you developed this fear. Who do you know or heard of such a reaction. The fact that you have no allergy makes unlikely a anaphylactic reaction.

Ok: Anaphylactic reactions, even when they are very serious, are not so common to (approved/commercialized) products. The list of the most allergenic foods in the market is pretty short. I would suggest you (besides talking about this with your dr, in therapy and consulting a psychiatrist), to use this careful, conscious approach to select carefully healthy, natural foods, protect your health.
